Yan Dongdong simply handed the schoolbag to Ding Meixiang, pointed to Yun Duoduo and said, "My sister-in-law bought it for me. She said that I should go to school at my age and not be delayed. I registered today and will start school tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. They had never expected that Yun Duoduo would accomplish such a big thing so quietly.
For an average family, spending more than ten yuan at once is not a small amount.
Yan Junting, who was standing to the side, glanced at Yun Duoduo with a smile, and then looked at Ding Meixiang with a smug look. How dare they say that his wife was not good? His wife really made them proud.
He took the schoolbag, looked through Yan Dongdong's books, and patted Yan Dongdong's head, saying, "Yes, your sister-in-law is right. You were already seven years old during the New Year, so this New Year is just right to mark your first year of school. I was originally planning to let you go to school, but I didn't expect your sister-in-law to be even more thoughtful."
“This…” Looking at those things, Yan Gusheng felt guilty. How could a daughter-in-law spend so much money as soon as she came to her husband’s family?
He quickly smiled at Yun Duoduo and said, "This must cost a lot of money, Duoduo. Your mother will give you the money later."
Yun Duoduo smiled and shook her head at Yan Gusheng, "No need. Dongdong is Junting's younger brother, which means he's my younger brother too. It's a good thing for him to go to school. Our family's education depends on Dongdong. I'm hoping he studies hard and becomes a college student in the future. Besides, it's not much money. We're family, so let's not be formal."
"Well, that's fine too." Yan Gusheng didn't want to say anything more, otherwise it would be too formal. He quickly patted Dongdong's head and said, "Dongdong, remember to study hard and listen to your sister-in-law."
Then, everyone looked at Ding Meixiang and felt that she should say something at this moment, since she had just been making fun of Yun Duoduo.
However, everyone in the family knew Ding Meixiang's temper, so at this moment, who would dare to say that she was going to have a falling out with anyone?
But there's one person in the family who won't give Ding Meixiang any face, and that person is Yan Dongdong.
Yan Dongdong, like a little adult, stood in front of Ding Meixiang, pointed to his schoolbag, and solemnly lectured his mother, "Mom, look how good my sister-in-law is! What else do you want to complain about?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the family nodded in agreement.
Ding Meixiang was a little embarrassed. She slapped Yan Dongdong on the head and snorted, "You brat."
However, Ding Meixiang wasn't ungrateful. She coughed awkwardly and, though not looking at Yun Duoduo, whispered, "You must be tired from taking this kid out. Go and rest. Dinner will be ready soon."
She then called out to Yan Honglan, "Honglan, make all the steamed pork dishes at home. Today is your sister-in-law's first day in the family, so make sure the dishes are plentiful."
Upon hearing this, Yun Duoduo was somewhat surprised.
She had always thought that Ding Meixiang was the kind of person who was considered extremely difficult to deal with in the past, and that she would never find her daughter-in-law pleasing. But to her surprise, Ding Meixiang was not as difficult as she had imagined.
Since her mother-in-law had already shown goodwill, Yun Duoduo didn't want to cause any disharmony in the family, so she smiled at Ding Meixiang and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mother."
Ding Meixiang is strong-willed and never shows weakness. This is probably the first time she has done so, so she is still a little uncomfortable. She nodded and pulled Yan Dongdong into the house.
After pulling Yan Dongdong into the house, Ding Meixiang glanced out the window and saw Yun Duoduo talking to Yan Junting in the yard. She pulled Dongdong to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed) and asked him softly, "Dongdong, did your sister-in-law really buy all these things? Didn't your brother order them to?"
Yan Dongdong thought for a moment and shook her head firmly, "No, my older brother didn't say anything. He went to help you with the work. It was my sister-in-law who asked me about my studies. I said I missed school, so she took me to school. My sister-in-law paid for everything."
Ding Meixiang remained silent, lost in thought.
Seeing this, Yan Dongdong stood up, hugged Ding Meixiang's neck, and said with a grin, "Mom, I really like my sister-in-law. She's beautiful, smells wonderful, and even gives me money to buy candy and books. She's so kind."
After a pause, Yan Dongdong saw that Ding Meixiang was silent. As if she remembered something, she continued, "She's much better than that Xiaoqin. When Xiaoqin saw that you weren't home, she pinched my face and tried to steal my candy. She even said that if I told you, she would beat me to death."
this……
Is Yun Xiaoqin really that bad?
This was something Ding Meixiang really hadn't expected.
But she knew her son wouldn't lie, so she frowned and asked Yan Dongdong, "Then why didn't you tell me before?"
Yan Dongdong pouted and shook her head, "You said she's my brother's future wife, but I'm afraid he won't be able to find a wife, so I don't dare to say it."
After saying that, he waved his hand, indicating that he would not talk about Yun Xiaoqin anymore. He pointed to the direction of Yun Duoduo outside and said, "Mom, this sister-in-law is really good. If you don't like her, I won't like you either."
Ding Meixiang was both amused and exasperated by these words. She slapped Yan Dongdong's bottom and scolded him with a laugh, "You brat, your sister-in-law has only been here for a short time, and you've already forgotten about your mother?"
"Of course not, I love my mom the most." Yan Dongdong had a very sweet tongue. Seeing that Ding Meixiang was angry, he reached out and hugged Ding Meixiang's neck, acting coquettishly in a childish voice.
Ding Meixiang, annoyed by his antics, playfully slapped his bottom and laughed.
But in my heart, I realized that Yun Xiaoqin was no pushover, and it was the right thing not to marry her.
As for her daughter-in-law, Yun Duoduo, she was much better than she had imagined.
Ultimately, everyone wants their family to live in harmony.
If Yun Duoduo can be so good to her brother-in-law, she definitely can't be a formidable daughter-in-law.
Her opinion of Yun Duoduo had changed a lot.
In the kitchen, Yan Honglan was very skilled; in less than an hour, she had prepared four dishes and a soup.
Potato and pork rib stew, cabbage and meat stew, fried egg, and a tofu and mushroom soup.
The ribs were tender but not dry, and the potatoes were stewed to perfection, melting in your mouth—perfect for Yun Duoduo's taste.
During the meal, Yan Gusheng and Yan Honglan kept putting food on Yun Duoduo's plate, which made Yun Duoduo feel quite warm. It seemed that apart from Ding Meixiang being a little domineering, everyone else in this family was quite nice.
Speaking of Ding Meixiang, although she wasn't very happy during the meal, she was much better than during the day, at least she didn't cause any more trouble.
After finishing the meal, Yun Duoduo didn't rest either; she and Yan Honglan cleared away the dishes.
Yan Honglan told her to rest aside, but Yun Duoduo stayed with her and finished the kitchen work.
Then, Yan Honglan boiled water for Yun Duoduo and accompanied her to take a bath. The two sisters-in-law got along like sisters and talked about everything.
Yan Dongdong, the little tail, followed behind the two of them, chattering away, making the house very lively.
It's as if there's a cloud in the house now, making it much more lively.
Ding Meixiang was quite satisfied with Yun Duoduo's actions. She felt that Yun Duoduo was not like the legends, spoiled by her family, unable to do any chores, and ignorant of social etiquette.
On the contrary, she is very good at dealing with people and is very kind to others.
It seems that everyone in the family, except her, likes Yun Duoduo.
